Gorgeous, heavily wooded CG in wooded state park located alongside ship channel (between Green Bay & Lake Michigan). Electric sites have been added to the 25 or so original ones, so now about 1/2 the lower loop has hookups; some 50 amp sites available. Trouble is, the CG has very narrow, winding roads and big rigs would have difficulty getting in here. Even the park roads are not very big-rig friendly, before you reach the CG! Sites are well-spaced, and camphosts & rangers patrol on foot as well as in vehicles, so the CG is orderly and very quiet! Pit toilets and flush toilet/showerhouse are kept clean, but are older & unremarkable. Some noise from neighboring small airport (small private planes only). Beautiful trails along shoreline and bluffs; good biking as well. Potawatomi is the eastern terminus of the 1000-mile Ice Age trail, which ends in Interstate SP in n.w. Wisconsin. Though overshadowed by its big beautiful sister, Peninsula SP, 25 miles north, this is a wonderful park and good base for Door County visits. Highly recommend for tents, popups and small to midsize trailers & motorhomes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Surprisingly nice campground, lots of trees and good space between sites. Quiet, even though we were by the pool. Pool could have been cleaner, store was not open while we were there (11-3 are odd hours) but appeared to have a larger than normal inventory. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was sold about a year ago and they are going through some changes, the store is not open as one might like. However, this is a VERY nice campground with gated access & exit. Some of the sites are very deep to handle bigger motor homes. Quite a few sites are completely shaded and we hardly saw a mosquito. Lots of roads with lots of kids on bikes, etc so be careful. My 10 year old son loved riding his bike here. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Good things: Lots of trees, shade, next to state park, quiet, large sites, level sites. When hooking up there was a problem with their water spigot and anti-siphon valve. They fixed it within 10 minutes. Not so good: WiFi was intermittent at best, sites were all stone (no grass) probably due to all the trees, poor maintenance in some areas (e.g. basketball court). Overall, we would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the nicest parks I have ever stayed in, and I've been camping for 45 years. The sites are very private in the area I stayed, and the proximity to the state park was very welcomed for walking and kayaking. The site I stayed in was very large and shady. I would (and will) stay here again when I go to Door County. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wireless was ok, had to put computer outside of motorhome on park bench in order to get good reception. Park was secured by a gate which kind of made it a pain to come and go out of the park. Park was very beautiful and staff was very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice shady spots with plenty of privacy. Unfortunately, the place is not as quiet as you would expect, there was alot of noise and train whistles from a nearby industrial area. The restrooms and showers were clean, but the entire area needed mowing and weeding. The staff was nice, but spent the day buzzing around on 4 wheelers stirring up lots of dust when we were cooking and eating our meals. They need to slow down a bit! I thought it was a bit expensive but it was OK. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a great campground! The sights are mostly wooded, flat, with a nice distance between them. The weekend we were there, they had 3 astrologers, complete with telescopes, and maps of the sky, set up in the pavilion for a demonstration. Unfortunately it rained that night!! Nice activities for the children-although the playground needed some updating. We would camp here again!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

While this is not an uncomfortable park, it needs a lot of maintance. Office/reception area tattered and worn. Most sites are pull-thrus. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one of the nicest private campgrounds in Wisconsin that we have gone to. The sites in the back are wooded, pretty level and quite large. Tent sites in particular are very private and nice. Big rig sites under tall pines. Usually quiet at night. You can hear the foghorns from ships in the canal occasionally - enough to be fun but not keep you awake. Pool was nice. Some sites are seasonal. Next to Potawatomi State Park - can
ride your bike right into the park. We camped here in a camper.
Yogi Bear in Sturgeon Bay was excellent family campground. Our 2 year old was in heaven. People who own it are very nice to deal with. The campground isn't as fancy as some Yogi Bear campgrounds but is kept up nice and much more affordable to stay at. They have plenty to keep young ones busy. Nice and quiet, even on a busy weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
